Hi,
I'll try to simplify the scenario. Here it goes:
1) By mistake I deleted Adobe Flash Player from Add/Remove Programs
2) Today, 1/14/2007 I received an update notification from Windows Update
that I needed to download the critical pack KB913433 for Flash Player.
3) I tried to update it and it failed - since I had deleted the above.
4) Reviewed Microsoft's security bulletin MS06-020 about the vulnerabilities
in Micromedia Flash Player from ADOBE that could allow remote execution
(913433).
5) Tried to download Adobe Flash Player (which I had deleted) and it will
not download(from Adobe's download center).

Questions are: a) how do I download Adobe Flash Player? 2) what are process
steps I should take?

Would appreciate a response.

Ed

Before I try anything, I'd like to ask whether or not system restore would
take care of this situation? That is reinstate the removal of Adobe Flash
Player, which I did just a couple of days ago.
Thanks,
Ed

Using System Restore to a point before you removed Flash Player
"should" be able to put it back for you, at least enough to update it!
If it doesn't then you can Undo the System Restore, and no harm done,
you're back in the pickle you started with.

Good Luck.

System Restore took care of this issue.
Everything is back to normal.
Thank you,
Ed

And some people actually disable SR - even in XP !!!

Probably the best thing to happen to Windows was the introduction of this
feature in WinMe.

Well done Ed, lets hope others can learn from your experience.
